Adrienne Watson joins the Motorsport UK Board
Motorsport UK is pleased to confirm the appointment of Adrienne Watson to its Board, effective 1st January 2026.
Her appointment comes as long-serving Director Nicky Moffitt steps down from the Board after more than five decades of dedicated service to motorsport. Nicky will continue in his role of Chair of Rally Committee in 2026. Adrienne was elected by the Motorsport UK Council in October and confirmed by the Board in November for an initial term of three years.
With a 30-year career spanning championship coordination, regulation writing and high-level officiating, Adrienne Watson brings a wealth of experience to the Motorsport UK Board.
Watson began her motorsport journey with the British Racing Drivers’ Club before becoming Championship Co-ordinator for several major series, including the British Touring Car Championship during the Super Touring era and Formula BMW in the UK and Europe. Her expertise in regulations and event operations later led her to stewarding, where she has served since 2012.
“ We are delighted to welcome Adrienne to the Board,” confirmed David Richards, Motorsport UK Chair.“ Her depth of experience, particularly in championship management and stewarding at the highest levels, will be invaluable as Motorsport UK continues to strengthen its governance and support the future of the sport. Adrienne’ s perspective, leadership and commitment to fair competition will be a tremendous asset.”
In 2022, Watson was appointed the Motorsport UK Steward for the Formula 1 Lenovo British Grand Prix, becoming the only female member of the panel at her home race. A visible advocate for women in motorsport, she has long championed opportunity through merit, and inspired others to pursue roles across the sport.
